Re: acronym
/ Oleg Tkachenko <olegt@multiconn.com> was heard to say:
| How can I get <acronym> element to be in html like a real html
| acronym, e.g. <acronym title="Document Object Model">DOM</acronym> ?
There's no easy, inline way. The problem with the title attribute is that
it doesn't work in an I18N way (you couldn't put BIDI or Ruby in there, or
even other markup like <emphasis>).
A subelement inside acronym for this purpose doesn't seem very inviting.
If the acronyms are in a glossary, I suppose I'd do some fancy hackery to
make that work.
It's definitely a nice idea, but no good, general solutions spring to
mind.
Be seeing you,
